Earning a place in history as the home of the very first F1 Grand Prix, Silverstone continues to be a landmark event in the Formula 1 season. High speeds and challenging corners will keep your drivers on their toes – as you approach the midpoint of the season, it’s all still to play for.
The rain has made a customary appearance here at Silverstone, and wet racing compounds are in contention. The rain isn't hanging around for the whole race, however. As both Williams drivers have points in their sights, it will all come down to clever strategising and choosing the right compounds. Can Williams get their drivers the right tyres at the right times, and get those points in the bag?
Suggested car setup and attribute focus for Silverstone Circuit:
- High-speed cornering is crucial
- Focusing on top speed and low speed cornering is also recommended
- Favours cars with stats focused on power
The British Grand Prix is a battlefield circuit, with overtake opportunities requiring drivers to compete in a battle of wills and skills.
- Overtaking at Silverstone is rarely easy and requires drivers to battle it out. With these battles comes a higher risk of a collision and damage, so it’s important to judge correctly when to push.
- The highly abrasive track usually calls for a two pit strategy, but if you can eek your tyres out a little longer to get by on a single pit, you may be able to gain an upper hand.
- Weather at Silverstone can be temperamental and quickly changing. If rain looks likely, consider an early swap to intermediates.
